You don’t have to set aside a block of time to teach your child. Just do the things you normally do, but do them with your child. Let your child observe and ask questions. Let your child help. Encourage curiosity by asking questions: Why do you think I do it this way? Where does the dryer get its hot air? When should we put in the muffins if they take 15 minutes to bake and we need them at 2 PM?
